Grand total was $120 or so in fuel, I was cruising most of the time, and wasnt wide open too much. Throw in food and drinks and easily was a $250 dollar day after 11 hours.

Update- So far this season Ive been out since late March. My fuel total is just shy of $500, Ive burnt about 125 gallons of fuel, in approx 15 hours of run time. Its been a blast but this new boat is so much more expensive than the last Did I mention is som much more....LOUD!!! Too lol
I went from a single 454, 27 ft boat too a 33 ft with twin 500 efis. cant wate to see the difference on my costs.....

You might be suprised. If you continue to do what you did the cost increase is not that big. But with a bigger boat and twins most of us go farther for longer and can really start cranking the bucks out for gas. Haha.
